Speaking to The Daily, Nicks, who served as a coach to "Idol" contestants last season, gave a (very) strong reaction to Minaj's outburst during "Idol" auditions last week.

"How dare this little girl!" Nicks said of Minaj's profanity-laced disagreement. "If I had been Mariah, I would have walked over to Nicki and strangled her to death right there."

The topic, The Daily notes, came up during an interview for Nicks' documentary, "In Your Dreams," and the respected musician didn't stop there.

"I would have killed her in front of all those people and had to go to jail for it," Nicks went on.

But those are harsh (and, well, scary) words that Nicks now regrets.

“I want to apologize for my remarks about Nicki Minaj’s behavior toward Mariah Carey, which I said during a long and exhausting day of interviews," Nicks said in a statement Wednesday. "It was very out of character for me and I deeply regret what I said. I feel very protective toward Mariah Carey, who has gone through many difficulties in her life and I spoke without thinking. I think all artist[s] should be respectful toward one another and that includes me. I am truly sorry.”

I do accept as true with all the ideas you have offered in your post. They're very convincing and can certainly work. Still, the posts are too quick for starters. Could you please extend them a bit from subsequent time? Thank you for the post.

I've been exploring for a bit for any high quality articles or weblog posts on this kind of area . Exploring in Yahoo I at last stumbled upon this site. Studying this info So i am glad to convey that I've an incredibly just right uncanny feeling I found out exactly what I needed. I most unquestionably will make certain to don?t omit this website and provides it a glance regularly.

Nikki is talentless & a disgrace to the black community! She needs to take her ghetto self else where! She is not a singer folks, she's a freakin rapper & since when is rapping singing. She looks like Bozo the Clown!

POTUS will comment on a stupid and probably staged feud between these two idiots, but doesn't comment/congratulate on a truly remarkable achievement of a man free falling from 128,000 feet above the the planet and breaking the speed of sound...?

This is truly a GENUINE apology (I own and apologize for my action and admit I was wrong), in contrast some of the lame attempts at apology (I'm sorry YOU are offended, and I'm sorry that a negative light is cast on me, but will never admit fault).

Nicki Minaj is just a trashy fad that will fade away...just not soon enough. Stevie, you have nothing to apologize for. that little girl deserved far worse. I loved to watch American Idol but won't be this year for sure. I have nothing against Mariah or Keith but what the heck were the producers thinking? there are plenty of people with talent that woudl make great judges. I'm done with Idol.

What a joke. AARP member Stevie Nicks couldn't punch her way ouf of a wet paper bag and she thinks she can beat up Nikki Minage? She should worry about her legacy, which is fading away. Talk to anyone under 40 and see if they know who she or Fleetwood Mac is.

Please, ever since Kurt Cobain died the "music" industry has become mostly rap with electronic beat box bass or sampling backing it or over produced auto tuned "pop" like Nicki Minaj. The fact that the found someone less talented than the screeching Mariah Cryah Carey to be a judge is testament to that.

Stevie may have made a poor choice of words, but she has more talent in her pinky than Minaj and Carey combined. If Fleetwood Mac and Nicks are so irrelevant, how come so many contestants on these shows and country acts (where musical instruments are still required) are covering Landslide and other Nicks/Mac tunes?

Her legacy isn't fading at all – Fleetwod Mac is now and will always be one of the greatest rock acts to step on stage with some of the highest record sales of all time. And as far as your comment about no one under 40 knowing who they are – you're probably right – because very few listeners in that age group have any muscial taste whatsoever. They are to busy listening to Bieber and the others of his talentless ilk.

Listen Crack Head – your crack at AARP and anyone older than 40 is just another example of the lack of values of our younger generations You may be right about anyone under 40 not knowing who Stevie Nicks is but consider the idea that in 40 years no one will know who Niki Minaj is nor will they still be buying her music (if you can call it that)

Why is it that you feel people under 40 do not have access to classic rock? I am 25 and have listened to Fleetwood Mac, as well as numerous other rock bands from many generations. The Beatles, Bad Company, Led Zeppelin, The Eagles, Clapton, etc. etc. Oh, and I dislike Nicki Minaj, Mariah Carey, and Justin Beiber. Have a little more faith in the younger generation, and don't feel so high and mighty. You never liked an artist or genre that your parents didn't like? What a joke.

i am under 40, heck i am under 30 and love fleetwood mac. i reall wish she did choke nicky manji to death i can't stand her crappy music. just like most of the talentless mass produced crap that the majority of my generation is making. what ever happened to good music?

Minaj is coming out the loser here. She appears trashy and jealous of Mariah. Minaj is going to be a sore for American Idol this year. I have no intention of watching if Minaj is behaving like a trashy spoiled brat. Mariah Carey is an ICON and is very deserving of such respect from Minaj. Minaj doesn't have to always agree with Mariah, but she should definitely find some class and show Mariah the respect she deserves. Having said that, "if" this is just a promotional tactic on behalf of AI, then AI really messed up. This is a family-oriented show, children love to watch and to have such a trashy entertainer on the show and allowing her to behave as she is, will turn viewers away!!! I know it will me! Minaj would be more successful on truTV's World's Dumbest...

Wow. Welcome to Bizarro World. Nicks and Buckingham gave NEW LIFE to Fleetwood Mac after Peter Green left them. She's a living legend and still one of the queens of rock, next to Ann Wilson (Heart). If you're going to compare someone to Stevie Nicks (a rock and balad singer) with an R&B singer or rapper, you need another example. Mary J. Blige, perhaps. Or Alicia Keys. But with Minaj, there is no discussion. She doesn't even come close.

What tripe! Stivie Nicks has withsood the test of time and still has an active career and following. Niki Minaj has been in the spotlight for one minute. Her 15 minutes of fame will soon be over. When you sober up we can have a real discussion on what talent is.

Minaj is a no talent, foul mouthed, lowlife. The sooner AI acknowledges their mistake in hiring her, and then fires her, the better off all will be. This disgusting human being will be seeking to sustain her career from prison soon.

Nicks and Miriah are true artists with a background to prove it. Minaj crawled out of some hole along with her "Roman" levitating with her blonde/pink wigs that are as fake as her voice. And I"m not apologizing for that comment!!!

Here we are again. Another board of people calling names, insulting others who disagree, using the most vile and derogatory language they can muster. Hating people based on race, appearance or taste in music instead of taking Stevie Nicks' example and acting like a mature adult who can admit they may have spoken inappropriately regardless of their personal opinion. Yea America! The land of name callers.

Thank you, F.U.W.I.A, well put! It drives me crazy that there are places in this world that, say, a 14 year old girl gets shot leaving her school bus just because she called for peace on her blog and THIS is what Americans call news?!?!? Who cares about any of these pampered Divas; they don't even live in the real world.

Lets face it, the whole fight was probably staged by the producers to boost ratings and help her pathetic career. We're all just helping to feed the frenzy. NM got lucky scoring this gig and MC is past her due date and should take anything that comes along that will help fulfill her need for the spotlight.

I address this directly to Stevie...Girl don't apoligize. You spoke your mind and probably what was on the mind of millions of viewers. Nicki Minaj is a low class piece of trash that grabs at any chance of publicity she can get. She can't stand on her talent (what talent) alone. I'm fifty years old and have been listening to your talent all my life. Fifty years from now no one will even knwo who Nicki Minaj is.

Nicks sorry for Minaj diss
Really? "diss"??? Thats english or does cnn think we all live in the ghetto with our baby mama and baby bump? I thought this was an english language site.
Stevie Nicks or Mariaqh Carey have musical talent, they can seing. they dont have to put on clown make up and a clown wig to get attention. NM looks like she smells very very badly.

If we're on about the use of the English language here, 'smells badly' means to have suboptimally functioning scent receptors - in other words, she cannot perceive scents properly. I believe the author of the statement meant to write, 'smells bad', 'bad' being an adjective (whereas 'badly' is an adverb).

I guess we all agree that Nikki Minaj is a useless, talentless, rude piece of trash. Stevie Nicks and Mariah Carey are both so far above her that she'd have to break her neck looking up to see them! She's getting attenttion, though, which is probably why she did what she did in the first place.

If you heard what Nicki Minaj was saying to Mariah instead of listening to the profanity you would have heard her say how Mariah had been talking down to her ("don't run me your resume"). Even Stevie Nicks in a condescending way called her a "little girl" Nicki is almost 30 year old! I am a 48 year old woman and even I know that younger women are not my kids! As an older woman working around younger women you don't go to work believing that you are "above the kids" or you’re going "to teach them a thing or two". You certainly don't need to remind young people of your history and status or treat younger people like they are incapable of thinking on their own. You are in fact their co-worker/colleague and their equal whether you like it or not. You’re not their mother, mentor an nor are you superior to them. Sure my age and longevity has garnered me a certain level of respect among my younger colleagues, but it was not from demanding it, it was earned by respecting others. That’s something Mariah and Stevie need to learn.

Yes Choconet, but to get respect you gotta either give it or earn it, and cursing someone out who's been in the industry longer and knows more than a newbie isn't the way to get it or earn it. Respect those who paved the way for you...period. Don't crap on the people that you claimed to respect and love before you got your deal. Mariah didn't come at her sideways, so why should she get a pass to disrespect anyone?

Choconet, I believe Nicks was more referring to Nicki's "age" in the business. She has not even been around the block yet she's so green. Carey and Nick's have been doing this for decades and will be revered and recognized for decades more to come, maybe even beyond that. Minaj will be forgotten as sooo many others in her class have been and I think that is why Nick's and Carey both condescend to her. And she deserves it! She does need to respect their icon status until she achieves some of her own. (Which likely will never happen cause she is not talented).

Yes I can say that she is not talented. I know that Rap is all the craze these days but I will not even recognize it as an art form. Most of the current "Rap" stars couldn't hold an empty cup when compared to talent like Louis Armstrong, Sammie Davis Jr. or even Lady Gaga. I'm sure I won't change your mind but I just wanted you to know that even if you love her talent a lot of us don't even recognize it as talent.

I think what we have here is an older insecure woman talking down to a younger up and coming woman. We live in a different world now and older woman can't just walk in a place and demand respect, remind people of their status and look down their nose at people when they don't get respect. Mariah is not Nicki's mother and Nicki is old enough to care for herself, so she certainly don't need no pre-menopausal mama coming up in their barking orders. Everyone knows Mariah is a diva and the fact that the young woman didn't bow at her feet and kiss her butt must have been a blow to Mariah’s ego. GET OVER IT!!! This is a job and unless the producers say otherwise both Mariah and Nicki’s status as judges are equal.

i never have liked stevie nicks. After hearing what she said about Nikki M i at least had some respoect for her. Now that she is applogising for what she said sorry stevie you are back to be worthless.

Why is she apologizing? People need to stop apologizing all the time. If you say something, you obviously meant it, so just own up to it, especially something this stupid. Were Nicki Minaj's feelings really that hurt? If you have to apologize, then apologize to that person, not the universe. Gah.

Nikki has no business as a talent judge–she's a pop star, and not a musician. Take away the studio effects, and you have another no-talent fool that appears to have raided the local dumpster behind Big Lots for outfits. Do the world a giant favor and just shut up–your crap has no place. Sure, Mariah is a diva, but she has the real talent to back it up, while you just have a giant potty mouth and...well, just a giant potty mouth. There are so many other great artists out there that are worth listening to and supporting. Wake the F#$% up folks, and help clean up the airwaves by not perpetuating this trash.

I love how everyone is blaming Nikki for the fight, when we all know that Mariah is the biggest DIVA in the world. I will have to say, this was Mariah fault and Nikki was defending herself. Mariah will now and forever be the biggest B*T*H in the world, like Madonna.

I think what we have here is an older insecure woman talking down to a younger woman (talent or no talent). We live in a different world now and older woman can't just walk in a place and demand respect, remind people of their status and look down their nose at people when they don't get respect. Mariah is not Nicki's mother and Nicki is old enough to care for herself so she certainly don't need no pre-menopausal mama coming up in their barking orders. Everyone knows Mariah is a diva and the fact that the young woman didn't bow at her feet and kiss her butt must have been a blow to Mariah’s ego. GET OVER IT!!! This is a job and unless the producers say otherwise both Mariah and Nicki’s status as judges are equal.

Choconet – You are so right about it being a different world today. Point-in-case, the fact that someone like Niki Minaj has such a following with younger people says volumes about the values of todays young people. There are exceptions but in general they don't appear to value anything, including themselves. If current evidence predicts anything, I see the end of civilization as we have enjoyed it.

Minaj is so gross! Although most of us would not literally go out and kill her, I can see how alot of people would say it. So to Stevie Nicks, I say don't worry about what you said. It was very classy for your to apologize but I think this feeling of hatred towards this talentless nobody spans across the globe! She is incredibly annoying and a hypocrite!

She's on idol not because of her talent its because people will watch it to see how much of a freak show she is. Its like when you drive by a bad car accident and theres a white blanket covering the car. Its not something fun to see but you can't seem to look away.

This is for Choco: Is your boss out of the office today? Or are you sitting at home? It's obvious you love Nicki by the way you keep logging on to defend her. But you must ask yourself...would you let her cuss and bi#ch at you or your family like that? Why are you defending that immature, foul-mouthed tantrum of hers?

It was courteous of Stevie to apologize for what she said about Nikki Minaj. However, Nikki Minaj is obviously a rude self-absorbed person that thinks way too much of herself. As for Mariah, not a fan, never was, she also thinks that she is above everyone and looks down her nose....but at least she does have talent. Nikki Minaj....not so much.

thats okay , Stevie, these young twerps dont know respect or how good they have it. They also lack real and raw talent. The only talen they possess is self-promotion and self-mutalation. Started with Madonna and sadly wont end anytime soon.

"After her acting career failed to take off, Minaj worked at Red Lobster in the Bronx at the age of 19 as a waitress and purchased her first vehicle, a BMW.[21] Minaj was fired from Red Lobster because of her discourteousness to customers. She stated she had been fired from "at least fifteen jobs" for similar antics.[22] Other jobs Minaj held were administrative assistant, customer service, an office manager position at an unknown business located on Wall Street.[23][24]"

It "IS" the End For "American Idol".........Had "SOME" talent while it lasted !!! Fox Should cancel Now ! With the Exception of Randy Jackson, A fine studio musician who has played on 100's of other artist Lp's & CD's, and, Given the current panel of judges.........really ? This is a Joke of Crime !!!!

Minaj can't really sing....not sure why she is on any panel judging musical ability. No worries Stevie you told it as it is. I just wish women would get along w/ each other better. It would make mens lives more tolerable.

Stevie has nothing to apologize for. Mariah and the other one are nothing short of IDIOTS. If the show's producers actually think this will make us watch this show, they're sadly mistaken. Wow, really? Nickie Minajj.....who the hell is she? Mariah Carey? She's ALWAYS been full of herself. Bad, bad, bad mistake on choosing judges American Idol. Your last year.

So old Nikki gets a pass from threatening to strangle someone cuz she had a "long day", but young Nicki is going to be crucified for cussing out Mariah after a long day of putting up with her crap. I'm not of fan of any of them, but how hypocritical how we become just because we don't like someone. Mariah is a diva and likely unbearable for more than 2 mins, Nicki has too many people in her head not to be agitated, and Nikki is just old, crusty and bitter and needs to stay on her meds and out of direct sunlight. Grow up children and cut the crap!!

Rock&Roll Debbie... Do you kiss your own a$s with that mouth? And who the heIl told you Stevie Nicks was beautiful? She looked like a horse when I saw her in the 80's, & dont think she has aged gracefully at all. Someone must have told you a looooooong time ago you resemble her & you took it seriously. Trust me, it wasn't a compliment. And no, believe it or not, I would pass on Stevie Nicks lol

You must be freakin' old. I'm guessing at least 60. How do you even remember all the way back to 1980? Isn't the memory the first thing to go. Or could it be, that the first thing to go is a limp mr winky. Thank god for that little blue pill, huh Sukkman? lmao Stevie Nicks would spit on you anyway.

I don't think she really said anything too offensive, basically what she said is she would have taken it physical(outside.) Mariah is no saint and she does think she is better than others, but Minaj has ZERO talent and is straight up trash that unfortunately kids adore.She needs that wig ripped right off her head.

If Stevie Nicks had only said,"Strangled her half to death", then no harm, no foul. Like everyone else posting here we are no fans of Nicki Minaj, she is the one that needs to learn manners, no need to apologies Stevie.

Well said, rocker! Stevie Nicks is a class act. Hands down. However, we must remember that she is also human and therefore not always able to hold her tongue when confronted by something as disgusting and offensive as the low life, Nicki Mange, er Minaj.

Nikki Manaj is a no talent little trash mouth ho who gives her whole race a bad name. Ghetto is in with the young set right now because they don't know any better. In a better world, her tantrum would ruin her career, but, the youth of today is a rebellious lot. If she was not singing, she would be a little ho with a crack pipe hanging out of her mouth. I guess I wouldn't be surprised if she is that too. Listen to her voice....it is not good. Today's studio with all of its' technology can make anyone sound good. Can you picture a class act like Beyounce having this kind of outburst? No, because Beyounce has class. Nikki Minaj does not have an ounce of class and will be gone before long.

How the hell can some little twit give an entire race a bad name?? Does Jerry Sandusky give the whole white race a bad name? Did someone tell you all black people think with one brain, listen to the same music, go to the same places, wear the same clothes...you do see where I'm going with this don't you?

@MIMI , he is 100% correct ! The youth of today have no respect and all look up to garbage like her . I saw a little girl just the other day with some hot pink and blonde hair , singing some niggie minaj garbage walking on the sidewalk with her mother , care to guess what color she was ?

Tyrone seriously, it's not even about race. Nicki Minaj doesn't speak for the entire race. It's about someone who's new to the industry disrespecting someone who's a legend in the industry, and has the talent to show for it. I know it's hard, but stay on the subject please. When some fool decides that race has to become a part of every conversation and as some of the comments on this post indicates, just points out the ridiculousness and idiocy of some people. So Jesse Pinkman (how original of a name), Melanie, Tyrone, Jim, Will, Rachel, and any other idiot who decides to bring race into this, stick to the subject at hand and stop being race and fear mongers-it makes you look less credible when bring your opinion to the table.

I have no issue Minaj was upset about something that Mariah was doing during the Idol auditions but I have a problem with the way she chose to express it. She acted like a child having a tantrum instead of handling the situation like an adult. She should have simply spoke with producers or whomever was in charge off camera to resolve this problem. Her outburst spoke volumes about her personality.

I agree with you Deb. I understand these ladies may not agree on most things, but they need to act like adults and let the producers handle it. It seems like Nikki may need a lesson in class, but we may not know the whole story.

Nicki Minaj is a ghetto-fabulous trick. She wears wigs to have hair like other races because her nappy pubic hair on her head cannot be tamed. She will be forgotten about in a few months because she has barely enough talent to stay relevant. She needs to stay in da trap where she belongs.

U shut up little b!tch. Steve Nicks and Mariah Carey is more talented than that little b!tch Minaj any day. She's nothing but a foul mouth punk just like 99.9% of little kids these days. No respect either.

Stevie Nicks is 64.
Mariah Carey is 42.
They are both increasingly irrelevant, and unknown to millions who HAVE heard of Miss Minaj.
Let the young have their moment, and remember if you're not riding the wave of change you're under it, bleating all the way. Starships are meant to fly.

Nicks and Carey are older, I'll give you that. But Miss Minaj is old enough to know better than to have behaved like a spoiled brat in front of millions of people. Nicks has apologized for her inappropriate comments. As an adult would do. When will Minaj appolize for her inappropriate behaviour? As an adult would do.

Hahahahaha Never, would you? If so you're not big on the 'no bad publicity thing', eh? She's got hundreds of people posting here alone, and never mind what they are saying, they're all talking about her. You can't buy publicity like that, also she likely has all kinds of respect for Miss Carey, but called it like she saw it, something we could use more of these days. Doesn't matter what we think anyway. Starships is flying, we ain't.

"They are both increasingly irrelevant, and unknown to millions who HAVE heard of Miss Minaj.
Let the young have their moment, and remember if you're not riding the wave of change you're under it, bleating all the way. Starships are meant to fly." How old are you? I'd guess between 13 and 18-years-old. We have a real problem with the 'new', as demonstrated by the so-so Minaj. No respect, no manners, self-inflicted ignorance and unjustified inflated egos. Mariah Carey isn't one of my favorites, but she has real talent, hasn't used or abused anyone like Nicki has...Your favorite will be a footnote in less than five years, while the classic and classy will be honored. I just wish you youngsters would learn some manners and respect, how you do behave has made you irrelevant and without credibility.

To retphxfire: Ridiculous assumptions. I am 50, and not a big fan, just calling it like I see it. I decry the dearth of virtuosos these days, and long for a real guitar hero. I like Metallica, Slayer and Joe Satriani, and if I idolize anyone it's my wife or my father, God rest his soul. I also like SoShi, 2NE1, Wiz Khalifa and Dr Dre, in addition to Rush and the Pet Shop Boys. My music collection is about 75 gigs, and it is decidedly varied. Time for an apology?

Stevie and Mariah have earned their respect and have extreme talent. They could blow that little b!tch Minaj off the Earth. She is nothing but a foul mouth and disrespectful b!tch. The two adults that I mentioned do have a lot of class. Beautiful women.

Even if you don't like Mariah and Stevie they have a legacy and are LEGENDS. In twenty years Nicki will be 49 (she is not a kid) and NO ONE will be talking about her... NO ONE! What on Earth could she be doing as a fifty year old rapper? Take away the make up, wigs, and studio gimmicks and there is absolutely NOTHING to talk about now. Mariah and Stevie have made music and albums that fifty years from now people will somehow still play and listen to. Nicki will never have that. Within five years her career probably will be over.

So Minaj killing Cary=Bad, but Nicks killing Minaj=Good? Plenty of hypocrites on the blogs today I see. Stevie Nicks better just sit her old a$s down & shut up. She's too old to be making threats like that. One of the best voices ever? She sounds like she's been smoking cigars & drinking Jack Daniels since she was 5. Plus Minaj has better b00bs, that dont hang down to her belly button

Hey Sukman: You will get old someday (maybe). Ever heard of rock and roll. She has one of the best rock and roll voices in rock and she's a beautiful woman 64. You are a shallow piece of sh!t. Minaj's boobs are probably fake like the rest of the tramps these days. Oh well, all you sleezey tramps stick together including you Sukman.

Stevie Nicks body of work, both with and without Fleetwood Mac stands on it's merits. Nicki Minaj will be a distant footnote in music history and not even mentioned when talking about class or talent . Don't apologize. Never say you are sorry and stand up to the PC and stand by your statements. PERIOD!

You talkin' to me? "Cos I don't see any reference here, no properly worded allusion to Miss Minaj. You could be just as easily talking to Miss Nicks. PC says no one was to blame anyway, so your post is kind of a waste. Also, it is kinda rude to assume she will blow all her money. Jealous much? Go fly your own starship if you're that talented, NO ONE IS STOPPING YOU, it's the land of the free. . . .

The only reason Nicki Minaj was tapped as a judge is because Fox is a republican station and she was ignorant to say "Democrats are lazy". She alienated the majority of her fan base with that statement and refuses to realize that if it weren't for liberals she wouldn't be able to shake her fake no talent ass on television.

I have no idea what or who Nicki Minja is nor do I really give a rats a$$, however I have made somewhat of that type of statement before myself due to the fact that there are others out there that are breathing perfectly good air for no other reason other than that they just suck at life.
But this much I can say, I have followed Stevie and the band since I saw them in europe and if Stevie thinks this Minja person needs strangled then maybe she does. Nothing wrong with speaking your mind unless you wake up in RUSSIA.

I agree totally. Nicky Manaj is hack with moderate talent that she disguises with outlandish wigs and costumes. Glad she can make money and sort of music. She needs to realize her limitations. Go Stevie. You are fine!! Don't apologize to her, she doesn't deserve it.

Stay in da trap reese. You don't belongs in da real world. Just go sell yo crak in da trap. Stevie is much too classy to go in your hood yo. Nicki Minaj is a no talent trick that people will forget about when the history books are written. Stevie will go down in history as one of the greatest of all time. Nicki "beez in da trap" Minaj, not so much....she is easily forgettable.

Stevie, you don't have to be apologetic for being appalled.
I understand and sympathize with your comment that entertainers have to respect each other but since this girl isn't an entertainer you are exempt ;-)

Most agree they are going with the African American judges to create a more urban appeal. Even the 14 year old girls will tune out this year. I'm not sure they even have a single white judge this year. Me stating this isn't racism. It's just a fact that the show I'd moving in this direction. We won't be tuning in this season at our home. Period.

IMO, AI only wanted minaj on the show to pull in the pre-teens because they're the only ones really buying her stuff and mostly the only ones watching. they should not have use minaj because she is not even experienced enough to critique newcomers!!! I stopped watching a long time ago. the show is a bunch of nonsense and is waaay over-rated. but as long as people keep complaining and watching, AI will be there making all that cash. ridiculous....

Read my SN and that's basically all you are. Kinda sad actually. Kinda sad too that the 'White trash' at least has talent, unlike your black barbie. Your snide remark kinda fell short. You're pretty used to falling short though, so it should be no big deal to you.

The show has dropped to a new low by allowing that sort of thing to occur. If the producers of American Idol think that this type of childish bickering is good for ratings they better think again. People are going to get tired of this kind of garbage real quick. The show will soon find its ratings plummeting to an even deeper low. They're lucky to have lasted this long. Besides the VOICE is much better.

Wow. If anything, judging from the types of comments being displayed in the response posts to this story, I'd say that the REAL problem is not Nicki Minaj. It is the anonymous, anti-black, racist ignorance being displayed by many individuals on this board. Truly pitiful stuff.

I am glad that Stevie first said Minaj deserves to be strangled, and equally glad that she apologized. Both are appropriate statements. We should all understand that some days people are pushed over the edge by the ridiculous, and equally understand that being pushed is no excuse for bad behavior.

Wow. If anything, judging from the types of comments being displayed in the response posts to this story, I'd say that the REAL problem is not Nicki Minaj. It is the anonymous, anti-black, racist ignorance being displayed by many individuals on this board. Truly pitiful stuff.

Mariah Carey is Black. Insulting and threatening someone like Nicki Minaj did is unacceptable no matter what race you belong to. As was what Stevie Nicks said. The problem most certainly is Nicki Minaj who was acting like a spoilt 2 year old. In the least she needs to learn proper enunciation. People like her shouldn't be examples for the community.

Every one has there own opinion but truly just leave the lady alone who cares, above all who cares what you all think just leave it be its just best to be neutral then to pick sides.....so leave it be!!!!!!!!

What I can't understand is that anyone would take serious anything thsi Nicky Minaj has to say. She can't sing, she can't rap and if she didn't have that big butt she wouldn't get the time of day. I blame Idol for stooping to use a no talent in the first place. Just think Idol chose her over Aretha Franklin!!!!!!

@Ricky Moore............you know snotty comments like this is just simply childish and you know perhaps you cant rap or sing so leave it be.....so Ms. Nicks apologize she did that and probably realize that she's only human............

You are contradicting yourself, Christine. You just said you wish that SN wouldn't have apologized, yet you say that she was mature in doing so. So...you wish SN wouldn't have acted like a mature individual?

Mariah has more talent in her little finger than Nicki could ever hope to have in her wildest dreams. That is why she is STUPID with JEALOUSY. I agree with Stevie's original comments... although I wouldnt want to see either Stevie or Mariah in jail over that no talent piece of trash!!

Old Niks is lucky she doesn't have to try out ON idol instead of being a JUDGE on idol. She has no talent and is a relative newcomer. What true experience does she have to judge from? Idol is done, put a fork in it. They have to scrape the bottom of the barrel to PAY someone to be a judge.

I'm pretty sure Nicks has more experience as a performer than Minaj. If you think Nicks doesn't have the experience necessary to be a judge on American Idol, then there is no way that Minaj or Abdul have enough experience either.

I agree with you. She has no talent whatsoever, and she can't even make up her mind on what she wants to be when she grows up. Just look at her. She looks like a deeply confused little black girl.

Having her on the show is killing Idol's ratings, no doubt about it. In fact, I myself refuse to watch it until they kick that child out of the judges chair. She has absolutely no business being a judge on Idol and surely has no clout bashing Mariah Carey. Idol must be seriously desperate, for some reason.

Once they remove her, I will then watch the show again that I use to really enjoy.

Stevie, my gosh, there is NO need to apologize. You are queen of this industry and anything you say, will be held in highest respect! You know you are right. That Minaj fool is nothing but a piece of trash, just as they say.

You speak from your heart. And you will always have my respect because of it.

L O L at the coloreds statement. Do they even have a white judge in the show this year? My family won't be watching it either. Bet if Ibama wins in November it becomes a law we have to watch this stuff.

Nicki Minaj beez in da trap. She says so herself in her song "beez in da trap" ...look it up on you tube. According to the urban dictionary, the "trap" is where you can buy/sell drugs and pimps make their girls available. Sounds like a great classy place doesn't it? Well Nicki thinks so because she is bragging about being (ebonics translation: beez) there in da trap. Stay out of da trap to avoid the clap from Nicki or one of her trick friends.

This political correctness crap has gone to far. It's pretty sad that Stevie Nicks has to apologise for speaking her mind about a topic she was asked about. I'm sure anyone who's been in a room with Nicky Minaj for more than 5 minutes would feel the same way. hell... just hearing her voice makes me want to strangle her!

Ms. Nicks was right to apologize. She said something EXTREMELY STUPID and realized that. It doesn't matter what you think of Nicki Minaj. She hasn't done anything to you to warrant her death. Think and act like a reasonable human being, Mich.

True, Minaj is a democrat and trash. The main difference between you and Minaj is that you are Republican, and most likely poor. You do have the trashy thing in common though, so who knows. Maybe one day you two could see past those differences and be friends!

Stacey, you should probably inform yourself a little better before you call someone democrat trash. Minaj actually claims 'Republican'. I am sure she does this for publicity as I highly refuse to believe she cares about politics anyway. Anyhow, you should should take your own responsibility for making such a stupid and ignorant remark you idiot. Inform yourself before you open your mouth you stupid waste of space.
